Lab Update

Our new (temporary) home!

We are working feverishly to get operations started in our new temporary location. This morning when we entered the new space, it was an empty shell.

Throughout the day, we worked to construct benches, paint, clean and move equipment, build computers, and order and stock supplies. We plan to start very limited operations tomorrow and will work to be fully operational over the next couple of weeks.

We want to continue to thank all of the people who have helped us this past week. Today we recognize those who helped us during the fire:

We want to thank the Cedar Rapids and Hiawatha fire departments, as well as the Cedar Rapids Police Department for responding to the fire soquickly!

Thanks to all the family and friends who helped board up windows to secure the building on Saturday.

Thanks to Advance Builders Corp for arriving at dawn Sunday to secure the roof to prevent further damage from weather.
